On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Artist and research Gary Zhexi Zhang will give a talk exploring systemic connections between cosmology, technology and economy.
He will examine identity and individuation in the economy of digital life, beginning with the bodies of parasocial, transindividual agency that populate the internet we have come to know, and into the time of artificial intelligences that meet humans at the threshold of their own incomprehensibility. What forms of subjectivity emerge from the pandemonium of cognitive assemblages, generative realities and artificial agents LARPing as humans as well as machines? Drawing on techno-cultural histories and contemporary developments, Gary Zhexi Zhang explores the predicaments of neural media.
